I'm relatively new to the sport with roughly 30 rounds under my belt but I'm finding that the first station is the bane of my existence. I pretty regularly shoot stations 2&3 clean. I might drop 1 on 4&5 but that first station kills me. I mean I NEVER shoot it clean and that's whether I shoot it first, last or in between.
If anybody has an idea of why this is happening and what I can do to correct it I'm all ears.
are you a lefty?
never mind, I see you are right handed!
If you are right handed, it’s just a mental thing. In any sport (which I have lots of experience at) if you walk up to station 1 thinking “I always miss here”, you know what’s going to happen. Mental imaging is real, before calling for a target, picture it coming out, smoothly swinging, and the target smoking. Think about missing and you miss.
I was a baseball player, competitive shooter, race car driver, and rode cutting horses competitively. You’d better not start anything with negative thoughts in your head. Picture success, you know how to break them all.
